Did you forget about this litter? We surly haven't and have been absolutely ecstatic to finally have some news on this front to share!
For those unaware 'Warriors' is our Dobermann Litter 'D' (yes 'E' was born first, whoops!), a pairing between blue European line Benny and pretty blue European line Ame, who is owned by a very good friend of the kennel. Ame has been with us for a couple years while her owner got moved and resettled and while we'll be happy to see them reunited, it will be a sad day to see her finally go. She's been working with us, getting her conditioning back up, and competing with us while we prepared for the eventual breeding.
This pairing happened off-grounds at the home of one of our main fosters and breeder in training Harper.
We've kept a bit quiet, Ame had a few complications during whelping and we sadly lost two of the pups, the stress of it had us worried that she would fully reject the other three when they struggled to latch. Thankfully after a couple days of hand feeding on our part while trying to reintroduce the puppies to their mum we finally got some successful latches and once that happened it seemed to click for Ame leaving us with a finally calm mum that was happy to have her pups nursing.
The remaining three have recovered fantastically and are on tack with growth and weight gain so we're finally ready to introduce them!
Welcome to the world 'Warriors'!
We'll do some full introductions once the pups are a bit more mobile and we get a chance to see what personalities are going to crop up.
